RERvideo — WHY A BROTHA FROM NEW YORK CITY MOVED TO TEXAS AND BECAME A CONSERVATIVE (VIDEO)

Eight years ago, Ricardo Regalado couldn’t get ahead financially in New York City. No matter how hard he tried, Ricardo kept falling deeper into the lack-of-money abyss.

While still living in the northeast, Ricardo was totally impulsive and flew to San Antonio to watch a Spurs game. That adventure on a whim opened his eyes to the difference in cost of living from New York and Texas.

After researching further and debating with himself, Ricardo hopped on a jet a moved to Houston.

Perhaps the most amazing part of his story is how the move led him to become political conservative.

He calls himself the “Texas Pioneer”. Like some 21st-century Harriet Tubman, five friends have followed him from the blue northeast to Texas based upon his testimony.
